Section 2.1 Agreement to Make Advances. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, each of the Banks severally agrees
to lend to the Borrower and the Borrower may borrow from time to
time between the Closing Date and the Termination Date upon
submission by the Borrower of a Draw Request in accordance with
Section 3.1, such amounts as are requested by the Borrower up to a
maximum aggregate principal amount equal to such Bank's
Commitment Percentage of the Loan Amount to pay for Project Costs
actually incurred by the Borrower and reflected in the Project
Budget as being funded by the Loan; provided, however, that in no
event shall the maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding
exceed such Bank's Commitment. The Advances shall be made pro
rata in accordance with each Bank's Commitment Percentage. Each
Draw Request for an Advance hereunder shall constitute a
representation and warranty by the Borrower that the conditions
set forth in Section 11, in the case of the initial Advance, Section 12, in the
case of all other Advances, and Section 12.6, in the case of the Advance
of any Retainage withheld pursuant to Section 2.3, have been satisfied
on the date of such Draw Request. No Bank shall have any
obligation to make Advances to the Borrower in the maximum
aggregate principal amount outstanding of more than the principal
face amount of its Note.
Section 2.2 Project Budget. The Project Budget reflects, by
category and line items, the purposes and the amounts for which
funds to be advanced by the Banks under this Agreement are to be
used. The Banks shall not be required to disburse for any
category or line item more than the amount specified therefor in
the Project Budget.
Section 2.3 Amount of Advances. In no event shall any Bank be
obligated to advance more than its Commitment, or, if less, its
Commitment Percentage of total Project Costs actually incurred by
the Borrower less Required Equity Funds. In no event shall any
Advance for Direct Costs of constructing the Improvements exceed
an amount equal to the sum of (a) the total value of the labor,
materials, fixtures, machinery and equipment completed, approved
and incorporated into the Land or the Improvements prior to the
date of the Draw Request for such Advance, minus (b) retainage in
an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of such total value
described in (a) ("Retainage"), minus (c) the total amount of any
Advances previously made by the Banks for such Direct Costs.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Advance in excess thereof may
be made hereunder for the purpose of making final payment of any
balance due any subcontractor (including materialmen or suppliers
within the term "subcontractor") after full and final completion
of the work on the Improvements being done by such subcontractor
or after full and final completion of the work on the
Improvements constituting a Phase of the Project being done by
such subcontractor, as certified by the Construction Inspector,
and delivery to the Agent of such items as are required by Section 12.6
as the Agent may deem applicable, including without limitation,
such evidence as may be reasonably required by the Agent to
assure the Banks that no party claims or has a right to claim any
statutory or common law lien arising out of such subcontractor's
work or the supplying of labor, equipment, material, and/or
services in connection therewith. Retainage shall otherwise be
advanced by the Banks subject to the terms of this Agreement to
the Borrower upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 12.6. With respect to any other Direct Costs and all Indirect
Costs, in no event shall any Advance exceed an amount equal to
the amount of such Direct Costs and Indirect Costs approved by
the Agent, incurred by the Borrower prior to the date of the Draw
Request for such Advance, and theretofore paid or to be paid with
the proceeds of such Advance, less the total amount of any
Advances previously made by the Banks for such Direct Costs and
Indirect Costs.
Section 2.4 Quality of Work. No Advance shall be due unless all
work done at the date the Draw Request for such Advance is
submitted is done in a good and workmanlike manner and without
defects, as confirmed by the report of the Construction
Inspector. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting
the provisions of Section 9.3, if a portion of the Work for which
payment is included within a Draw Request has not been performed
in a good and workmanlike manner and without defects as
determined by the Architect, the Contractor, the Construction
Inspector or the Agent ("Defective Work"), then the amount to be
advanced pursuant to such Draw Request shall be reduced by the
portion thereof attributable to the Defective Work provided that
all other conditions to the making of an Advance have been
satisfied. No Advance shall be due thereafter upon a Draw
Request with respect to such Defective Work until such Defective
Work has been corrected and brought into full compliance with the
requirements of this Agreement. No Advance shall be made upon
any Draw Request if, upon the date of submittal thereof, any
Defective Work has remained uncorrected for a period of more than
thirty (30) days, unless correction of such Defective Work is
under way and progressing reasonably satisfactorily to the Agent
and the Construction Inspector.
Section 2.5 Cost Overruns and Savings. If the Borrower becomes
aware of any change in Project Costs which will increase or
decrease a category or line item of Project Costs reflected on
the Project Budget (as the Project Budget is revised from time to
time and approved by the Majority Banks), the Borrower shall
immediately notify the Agent in writing and promptly submit to
the Agent a revised Project Budget for the approval of the
Majority Banks. If the revised Project Budget indicates an
increase in a category or line item of Project Costs, no further
Advances need be made by the Banks unless and until (a) the
revised Project Budget so submitted by the Borrower is approved
by the Majority Banks, and (b) the Borrower has deposited with
the Agent any Required Equity Funds. If the revised Project
Budget indicates a decrease in a line item of Project Costs, no
reductions in Project Costs will be made or savings reallocated
by the Borrower unless and until (c) the revised Project Budget
so submitted by the Borrower is approved by the Majority Banks,
and (d) in the case of decreases in a line item of Direct Costs,
the Borrower has furnished the Agent, the Majority Banks and the
Construction Inspector with evidence satisfactory to them that
the labor performed and materials supplied in connection with
such line item of Direct Costs have been satisfactorily completed
in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and paid for in
full.
Section 2.6 Contingency Reserve. The amount allocated as
Contingency Reserve in the Project Budget will only be disbursed
upon the prior approval of the Majority Banks. The disbursement
of a portion of Contingency Reserve shall in no way prejudice the
Banks from withholding disbursement of any further portion of
Contingency Reserve.
Section 2.7 Development Fee; Land Equity. Except as expressly
provided herein, the Banks shall not be required to disburse any
funds for the amount allocated as "Development Fee" in the
Project Budget unless and until Agent shall have received all of
the items set forth in Section 12.6. Except as expressly provided
herein, the Banks shall not be required to disburse any funds for
the amount allocated as "Land-Cash Equity" or "Land-Earned
Equity" (the total amount of those line items being $875,851.00)
in the Project Budget unless and until Agent shall have received
all of the items set forth in Section 12.6 and the Designee shall have
acquired the entire general partnership interest of the General
Partner in the Borrower in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in Section 10.11.
Section 2.8 Stored Materials. The Banks shall not be required to
disburse any funds for any materials, furnishings, fixtures,
machinery or equipment not yet incorporated into the Land or
Improvements ("Stored Materials") unless the following conditions
are satisfied:
(a) The Stored Materials are components in a form
ready for incorporation into the Land or the Improvements and
shall (subject to forces beyond Borrower's reasonable control) be
so incorporated within a period of 30 days;
(b) The Stored Material are stored at the Land or such
other location approved by the Agent, and are protected against
theft, vandalism and the elements;
(c) The Stored Materials have been paid for in full or
will be paid for with the funds to be disbursed, all lien rights
and claims of the supplier have been released or will be released
upon payment with disbursed funds and no seller or supplier
reserves or purports to reserve title or the right of removal or
repossession, or the right to consider such Store Materials
personal property after their incorporation into the
Improvements;
(d) Borrower has or shall have upon payment with
disbursed funds title to the Stored Materials subject to no
liens, charges, title retention agreements or other encumbrances
except those in favor of Agent, and Agent has or will have upon
payment with disbursed funds a perfected first priority security
interest in the Stored Materials;
(e) Borrower shall supply to the Agent evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the Stored Materials
are included in the coverage of the insurance policies required
hereunder and are insured for an amount equal to their
replacement cost; and
(f) If the Stored Materials are not stored at the
Land, (i) the Stored Materials are stored and segregated in a
bonded warehouse or storage yard approved by the Agent, (ii) that
the warehouse or yard has been notified that the Agent has a
security interest in the subject Stored Materials, (iii) the
Contractor and the Borrower's Architect have inspected the fully
fabricated components at the off-site location, and have approved
the Draw Request for such Stored Materials, (iv) the Agent has
received from Borrower a copy of the warehouse receipt (which
copy shall include an acknowledgment from the owner or lessee of
the warehouse that such party has possession of the original
warehouse receipt) and color photographs of such Stored Materials
clearly identifying such Stored Materials, and (v) the Agent has
received satisfactory evidence that the Stored Materials are
protected against theft, damage, vandalism, and the elements,
have been suitably identified as belonging to Borrower for use in
the Project and that such seller, supplier or fabricator has been
notified of the security interest of the Agent therein.
Section 2.9 Final Disbursement of Remaining Loan Proceeds.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
regarding the Banks' obligations to fund Advances in excess of
total Project Costs, the Agent and each of the Banks agrees that
contemporaneously with, but subject to the complete satisfaction
of each of the conditions to, the acquisition of all of the
General Partner's interest in Borrower by the Designee in
accordance with Section 10.11, the Banks shall, upon submission by
Borrower of a Borrower's Requisition and subject to the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement, including without
limitation, Section 12, make a final Advance to the Borrower equal to
the sum of (a) the Loan Amount less (b) the aggregate amount of
all Advances theretofore made by the Banks pursuant to this
Agreement.
SECTION 3. MAKING THE ADVANCES
Section 3.1 Draw Request. At such time as the Borrower shall
desire to obtain an Advance, the Borrower shall complete, execute
and deliver to the Agent the Borrower's Requisition in the form
of Exhibit E attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as
"Borrower's Requisition"). Each Borrower's Requisition shall be
accompanied by:
(a) a written notice of the Borrower specifying (i)
the requested Type of Advance comprising such Advance, (ii) in
the case of an Advance comprised of a LIBOR Advance, the initial
Interest Period; and (iii) the amount of each Type of Advance;
provided, however, that each LIBOR Advance shall be in an amount
of $100,000.00 or integral multiple of $1,000.00 in excess
thereof;
(b) If the Borrower's Requisition includes payments
for Direct Costs, it shall be accompanied by a completed and
itemized Direct Cost Statement in form satisfactory to the Agent,
executed by the Borrower, together with copies of invoices for
all items of Direct Cost covered thereby;
(c) If the Borrower's Requisition includes amounts to
be paid to the Contractor under the Construction Contract, it
shall be accompanied by: (i) a completed and fully itemized
Application and Certificate for Payment (AIA Document G702 or
similar form approved by the Agent) containing the certification
of the Contractor and the Borrower's Architect or other licensed
design professional acceptable to Agent as to the accuracy of
same, and showing all subcontractors and materialmen by name and
trade or job, the total amount of each subcontract or purchase
order, the amount theretofore paid to each subcontractor or
materialman as of the date of such application, and the amount to
be paid from the proceeds of the Advance to each subcontractor
and materialman; (ii) a certificate of the Contractor in the form
of Exhibit F attached hereto; (iii) a certificate of the
Borrower's Architect or other licensed design professional
acceptable to Agent in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto or
such other form as the Agent may approve; and (iv) copies of
requisitions and invoices from subcontractors and materialmen
supporting all items of cost covered by such application;
(d) If the Borrower's Requisition includes payments
for Indirect Costs, it shall be accompanied by a completed and
itemized Indirect Cost Statement in form satisfactory to the
Agent, executed by the Borrower, together with copies of invoices
for all items of Indirect Costs covered thereby;
(e) written lien waivers executed by the Contractor
and such laborers, subcontractors and materialmen whose
contract(s) for the provision of services or materials for
construction of the Project requires payment in excess of
$50,000.00, for work done and materials supplied by such Person
which were paid for pursuant to the next preceding Draw Request
in form acceptable to Agent, which form shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, contain lien subordinations from the
Contractor and each such laborer, subcontractor and materialman;
(f) a written request of the Borrower for any
necessary changes in the Plans and Specifications, the Project
Budget, the Disbursement Schedule or the Construction Schedule;
(g) copies of all change orders and construction
change directives, accompanied by a change order summary prepared
by and executed by the Borrower, copies of all subcontracts
involving work in the amount of $100,000.00 or more (if requested
by the Agent), and, to the extent requested by the Agent or the
Majority Banks, of all inspection or test reports and other
documents relating to the construction of the Improvements, not
previously delivered to the Agent; and
(h) If the Borrower's Requisition includes payment for
Stored Materials, it shall be accompanied by evidence as to the
satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 2.8 hereof; and
(i) such other information, documentation and
certification as the Agent or the Majority Banks shall reasonably
request.
Each Draw Request shall constitute a representation and warranty
by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in this
Agreement to such Advance, including, without limitation, Section 11,
have been satisfied on the date of such Draw Request.
Section 3.2 Notice and Frequency of Advances.
(a) Each Draw Request shall be submitted to the Agent
at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the
requested Advance, and no more frequently than once each month.
The Agent shall promptly notify each of the Banks following the
receipt of a Draw Request, but in any event no later than 2:00
p.m. five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date.
(b) Except as provided in this Section 3.2, each such Draw
Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and
shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Advance requested from
the Banks on the Drawdown Date. If the Borrower does not specify
the Type of Advance requested in a Draw Request, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have selected a Base Rate Advance. Any
failure by a Bank to fund its proportionate share of a requested
Advance shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations under
this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.2(b) shall prevent the
Borrower from seeking recourse against any Bank that fails to
advance its proportionate share of a requested Advance as
required by this Agreement; it being acknowledged that any Bank
that is prepared to fund its proportionate share of a requested
Advance shall have no liability with respect to any other Bank
that fails to advance its proportionate share.
(c) There shall be no more than five (5) LIBOR Rate
Advances outstanding at any one time.
Section 3.3 Deposit of Funds Advanced. The Borrower shall open
and maintain a checking account with Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (the
"Loan Checking Account"). Except as otherwise provided for in
Section 3.4 and 3.5 hereof, the Agent shall deposit the proceeds of
each Advance into the Loan Checking Account.
Section 3.4 Advances to Contractor. In the event that the Agent
or the Majority Banks shall determine in the exercise of their
business judgment that cause exists to do so, the Agent may make
any or all advances for Direct Costs incurred under the
Construction Contract directly to the Contractor for deposit in
an appropriately designated special bank account, and the
execution of this Agreement by the Borrower shall, and hereby
does, constitute an irrevocable authorization so to advance the
proceeds of the Loan. No further authorization from the Borrower
shall be necessary to warrant such direct advances to the
Contractor and all such advances shall satisfy pro tanto the
obligations of the Banks hereunder and shall be secured by the
Security Deed and the other Security Documents as fully as if
made directly to the Borrower.
Section 3.5 Advances to Title Insurance Company or to Others. In
the event that the Agent or the Majority Banks shall determine in
the exercise of their business judgment that cause exists to do
so, the Agent may make any or all advances through the Title
Insurance Company or a recognized construction disbursement
service and any portion of the Loan so disbursed by the Agent on
behalf of the Banks shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on
which the Bank makes such disbursement. In the event that the
Agent or the Majority Banks shall determine in the exercise of
their business judgment that cause exists to do so, the Agent may
make advances of portions of the proceeds of the Loan to any
Person to whom the Agent or the Majority Banks in good faith
determine payment is due and any portion of the Loan so disbursed
by the Agent on behalf of the Banks shall be deemed disbursed as
of the date on which the Agent makes such disbursement. The
execution of this Agreement by the Borrower shall, and hereby
does, constitute an irrevocable authorization so to advance the
proceeds of the Loan. No further authorization from the Borrower
shall be necessary to warrant such direct advances and all such
advances shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of the Banks
hereunder and shall be secured by the Security Deed and the other
Security Documents as fully as if made directly to the Borrower.
Section 3.6 Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver. No Advance made
by the Banks shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions
to the Banks' obligation to make further Advances nor, in the
event the Borrower fails to satisfy any such condition, shall any
such Advance have the effect of precluding the Banks from
thereafter declaring such failure to satisfy a condition to be an
Event of Default.
Section 3.7. Funds for Loans.
(a) Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the
proposed Drawdown Date of any Advance, each of the Banks will
make available to the Agent, at the Agent's Head Office, in
immediately available funds, the amount of such Bank's Commitment
Percentage of the amount of the requested Advance which may be
disbursed pursuant to Section 2.1. Upon receipt from each Bank of such
amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by Xxxxxx 00 and Section 12
and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein,
to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the
Borrower the aggregate amount of such Advance made available to
the Agent by the Banks by crediting such amount. The failure or
refusal of any Bank to make available to the Agent at the
aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its
Commitment Percentage of the requested Advance to the extent it
is obligated to fund such Advance hereunder shall not relieve any
other Bank from its several obligation hereunder to make
available to the Agent the amount of such other Bank's Commitment
Percentage of any requested Advance, including any additional
Advance that may be requested by the Borrower subject to the
terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not
advanced by the Bank so failing or refusing; provided that no
Bank shall be obligated to advance any amount in excess of the
limits set forth in Section 2.1. In the event of any such failure or
refusal, the Banks not so failing or refusing shall be entitled
to a priority position as against the Bank or Banks so failing or
refusing for such Advance as provided in Section 13.5(b).
(b) Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Bank
prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Bank will not
make available to Agent such Bank's pro rata share of a proposed
Advance, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Bank has
made such Advance available to Agent in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and Agent may, if it chooses, in
reliance upon such assumption make such Advance available to
Borrower, and such Bank shall be liable to the Agent for the
amount of such advance.
Section 3.8 Interest Reserve.
(a) The Project Budget includes a Construction Period
Interest reserve of $783,980.00. By execution hereof, the
Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Agent, without the necessity
of any further authorization, to disburse directly to the Agent
for the account of the Banks rather than to the Borrower out of
the interest reserve such sums as are necessary to pay, on a
monthly basis, accrued interest; provided, however, that all Net
Operating Income shall be utilized by Borrower first to pay
accrued interest. Upon disbursement, the amount that is
disbursed shall be disbursed pro rata by the Banks and shall be
added to the then outstanding principal sum of the Loan and shall
bear interest at the rate provided for in this Agreement. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, the Agent shall have the right but not the
obligation to continue to disburse payments of monthly interest
installments from the interest reserve. If the interest reserve
account is exhausted, or upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, or if the Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that
the remaining funds in the interest reserve will be insufficient
to pay in full the then due and payable monthly interest
installments or any portions thereof through the Maturity Date,
then upon seven (7) days prior written notice of any such event
from the Agent, the Borrower shall commence the payment of
monthly interest installments. Establishment of the interest
reserve shall in no way relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
make interest payments. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an
Event of Default under any Loan Document, the Agent may, at its
option, cease making any further disbursement from the interest
reserve.
SECTION 4. THE NOTE; INTEREST; MATURITY AND PREPAYMENT
Section 4.1 Notes. The Advances shall be evidenced by separate
promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of
Exhibit H hereto (collectively, the "Notes"), dated of even date
with this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions.
One Note shall be payable to the order of each Bank in the
principal face amount equal to such Bank's Commitment and shall
be payable as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably
authorizes each Bank to make or cause to be made, at or about the
time of the Drawdown Date of any Advance or at the time of
receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate
notation on such Bank's Record reflecting the making of such
Advance or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The
outstanding amount of the Loan set forth on such Bank's Record
shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof
owing and unpaid to such Bank, but the failure to record, or any
error in so recording, any such amount on such Bank's Record
shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the
Borrower hereunder or under any Note to make payments of
principal of or interest on any Note when due.
Section 4.2. Interest on Advances.
(a) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest for the
period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on
the date on which such Base Rate Advance is paid in full or is
converted to a LIBOR Rate Advance from a Base Rate Advance at the
rate of one-half of one percent per annum (0.50%) plus the Base
Rate.
(b) Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest for
the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending
on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto at
the rate of one and one-half percent (1.50%) per annum above the
LIBOR Rate determined for such Interest Period.
(c) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each
Advance in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect
thereto.
(d) Base Rate Advances and LIBOR Rate Advances may be
converted to Advances of the other Type as provided in Section 5.3.
Section 4.3. Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the
Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable
on the Maturity Date, all principal of the Loan outstanding on
such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon.
Section 4.4. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the
right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the
Loan, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or
premium; provided, that the full or partial prepayment of the
outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Advances pursuant to this
Section 4.4 may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period
relating thereto except as otherwise required pursuant to Section 5.7.
The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m.,
Boston time, at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice
of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.4, in each case specifying
the proposed date of payment of the Loan and the principal amount
to be paid.
Section 4.5. Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the
Loan under Section 4.4 shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued
interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment and,
after payment of such interest, shall be applied, in the absence
of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Base
Rate Advances and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Advances.
No amounts of the Loan prepaid under Section 4.4 may be reborrowed.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments shall
first be applied to accrued but unpaid interest and then to
principal.
SECTION 5. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 5.1 Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to BKB on
the Closing Date a commitment and loan structuring fee as
provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees between Borrower and BKB
(the "Agreement Regarding Fees") which shall be fully earned and
non-refundable when paid.
SECTION 5.2. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
Section 5.3. Conversion Options.
(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to
convert any outstanding Advance to an Advance of another Type and
such Advance shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate
Advance or a LIBOR Rate Advance, as applicable; provided that (i)
with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Advance to a
Base Rate Advance, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least
three Business Days' prior written notice of such election, and
such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the
Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Advance; (ii)
with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Advance to a
LIBOR Rate Advance, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least
four LIBOR Business Days' prior written notice of such election
and the Interest Period requested for such Advance, the principal
amount of the Advance so converted shall be in a minimum
aggregate amount of $100,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000
in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such
Advance, there shall be no more than five (5) LIBOR Rate Advances
outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Advance may be
converted into a LIBOR Rate Advance when any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the
outstanding Advances of any Type may be converted as provided
herein, subject to the foregoing limits. On the date on which
such conversion is being made, each Bank shall take, to the
extent it deems it necessary to do so, such action as is
necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Advance
to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as
the case may be. Each Conversion Request relating to the
conversion of a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance shall
be irrevocable by the Borrower.
(b) Any Advance may be continued as such Type upon the
expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by
compliance by the Borrower with the terms of Section 5.3; provided that
no LIBOR Rate Advance may be continued as such when any Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be
automatically converted to a Base Rate Advance on the last day of
the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default.
(c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the
Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any outstanding
Advance, such Advance shall be automatically converted to a Base
Rate Advance at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
Section 5.4 Funds for Payments.
(a) All payments of principal, interest, fees and any
other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts
of the Banks and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent's
Head Office in each case not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time)
on the day when due in immediately available funds in lawful
money of the United States.
(b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under
any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or
counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions,
withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any
nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or
any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority
therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such
deduction or withholding. If any such obligation to deduct or
withhold is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount
payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
the Borrower will pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks
or the Agent, as the case may be, on the date on which such
amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan
Document, such additional amount in dollars as shall be necessary
to enable the Banks or the Agent to receive the same amount which
the Banks or the Agent would have received on such due date had
no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower
will deliver promptly to the Agent certificates or other valid
vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid
with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under
such other Loan Document.
Section 5.5 Computations. All computations of interest on the
Loan shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual
number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the
definition of the term "Interest Period", whenever a payment
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on
a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and
interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding
amount of the Loan as reflected on the records of the Agent from
time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such
outstanding amount.
Section 5.6. Inability to Determine LIBOR Rate. In the event
that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating
to any LIBOR Rate Advance, the Agent shall determine that
adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the
LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith
give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower and the Banks) to the Borrower and the
Banks. In such event (a) any Draw Request with respect to LIBOR
Rate Advances shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be
deemed a Draw Request for Base Rate Advances and (b) each LIBOR
Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then
current Interest Period thereof, become a Base Rate Advance, and
the obligations of the Banks to make LIBOR Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Agent determines in the exercise of its good
faith business judgment that the circumstances giving rise to
such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so
notify the Borrower and the Banks.
Section 5.7. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions
herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or
directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make
it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority
having jurisdiction over a Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office shall
assert that it is unlawful, for any Bank to make or maintain
LIBOR Rate Advances, such Bank shall forthwith give notice of
such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon
(a) the commitment of the Banks to make LIBOR Rate Advances or
convert Advances of another type to LIBOR Rate Advances shall
forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Advances then
outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate
Advances on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to
such LIBOR Rate Advances or within such earlier period as may be
required by law.
Section 5.8. Additional Interest. If any LIBOR Rate Advance or
any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate
Advance for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day
of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance, the
Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the
Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages,
in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable
hereunder, any amounts required to compensate the Banks for any
losses, costs or expenses which may reasonably be incurred as a
result of such payment or conversion, including, without
limitation, an amount equal to daily interest for the unexpired
portion of such Interest Period on the LIBOR Rate Advance or
portion thereof so repaid or converted at a per annum rate equal
to the excess, if any, of (a) the interest rate calculated on the
basis of the LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance
(including any spread over such LIBOR Rate) minus (b) the yield
obtainable by the Agent upon the purchase of debt securities
customarily issued by the Treasury of the United States of
America which have a maturity date most closely approximating the
last day of such Interest Period (it being understood that the
purchase of such securities shall not be required in order for
such amounts to be payable and that a Bank shall not be obligated
or required to have actually obtained funds at the LIBOR Rate or
to have actually reinvested such amount as described above).
Section 5.9. Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if any present or future applicable law,
which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and
regulations thereunder and legally binding interpretations
thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other
regulatory body or official with appropriate jurisdiction charged
with the administration or the interpretation thereof and
requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or
from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any
Bank or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary
or other authority (whether or not having the force of law),
shall:
(a) subject any Bank or the Agent to any tax, levy,
impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature
with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such
Bank's Commitment or the Loan (other than taxes based upon or
measured by the income or profits of such Bank or the Agent), or
(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except
for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any
Bank of the principal of or the interest on any Advances or any
other amounts payable to any Bank under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, or
(c) impose or increase or render applicable any
special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy
or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of
law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account
of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Bank, or
(d) impose on any Bank or the Agent any other
conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents, the Advances, such Bank's Commitment, or
any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or
such Bank's Commitment forms a part; and the result of any of the
foregoing is
(i) to increase the cost to any Bank of making,
funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of
the Advances or such Bank's Commitment, or
(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or
other amount payable to such Bank or the Agent hereunder on
account of such Bank's Commitment or any of the Advances, or
(iii) to require such Bank or the Agent to make any
payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable
hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest
or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount
of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Bank or the
Agent from the Borrower hereunder,
then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen
(15) days of demand made by such Bank or (as the case may be) the
Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the
occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Bank or the Agent such
additional amounts as such Bank or the Agent shall determine in
good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Agent
for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest
or other sum. Each Bank and the Agent in determining such
amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods,
generally applied by such Bank or the Agent.
Section 5.10. Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Bank
determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule,
regulation, guideline, directive or request (whether or not
having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for banks
or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation,
application or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or (b) compliance by
such Bank or its parent bank holding company with any guideline,
request or directive of any such entity regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect
of reducing the return on such Bank's or such holding company's
capital as a consequence of such Bank's commitment to make
Advances hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or
holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change
or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank's or such
holding company's then existing policies with respect to capital
adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity's
capital) by any amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then
such Bank may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees
to pay to such Bank the amount of such reduction in the return on
capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon
presentation by such Bank of a statement of the amount setting
forth the Bank's calculation thereof. In determining such
amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.
Section 5.11. Indemnity of Borrower. The Borrower agrees to
indemnify each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from and
against any loss, cost or expense that such Bank may sustain or
incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment
of the principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate
Advances as and when due and payable, including any such loss or
expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Bank to
Banks of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate
Advances, or (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing or
conversion after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have
given) a Draw Request or a Conversion Request.
Section 5.12. Interest on Overdue Amounts; Late Charge. Overdue
principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law)
interest on the Loan and all other overdue amounts payable
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall bear
interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to five
percent (5.0%) above the Base Rate until such amount shall be
paid in full (after as well as before judgment), or if such rate
shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the
maximum rate permitted by law (the "Default Rate"). In addition,
the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to three percent (3%)
of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loan or
any other amounts payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents,
which is not paid within ten days of the date when due.
Section 5.13. Certificate. A certificate, prepared in good faith
by a Bank consistent with such Bank's practice in calculating
such amounts, setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.8,
Section 5.9, Section 5.10, Section 5.11 or Section 5.12 and a brief
explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Bank or
the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.
Section 5.14. Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, all agreements between the
Borrower and the Banks and the Agent, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited
so that in no circumstance, whether by reason of acceleration of
the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the
interest contracted for, charged or received by the Banks exceed
the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from
any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable
to the Banks in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest
payable to the Banks shall be reduced to the maximum amount
permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the
Banks shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by
applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount
equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction
of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of
interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid
balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be
refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid
to the Banks shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full
period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations
(including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so
that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This section
shall control all agreements between the Borrower and the Banks
and the Agent.
SECTION 6. COLLATERAL SECURITY AND THE GUARANTY
The Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first
priority mortgage lien and security interest in the Collateral,

Banks, shall not constitute a waiver of the Agents' and the

this Agreement or under any note, evidence of indebtedness,
indenture or other obligation to which or with respect to which
the Borrower, the General Partner or any of the Guarantors is a

Project Costs in excess of the Loan Amount, regardless of the

Section 9.16 Insufficiency of Loan Proceeds. The Borrower will
deposit funds with the Agent for the benefit of the Banks as
follows: If at any time while the Loan is outstanding or the
Banks have any obligation to make Advances hereunder, the Agent
or the Majority Banks shall in their reasonable discretion
determine that the remaining undisbursed portion of the Loan,
together with the undisbursed balance of Required Equity Funds,
if any, and any other sums previously deposited by the Borrower
with the Agent in connection with the Loan, is or will be
insufficient to fully complete and equip the Improvements in
accordance with the Plans and Specifications, to operate and
carry the Project after completion of the Improvements until
payment in full of the Loan by the Borrower, to pay all other
Project Costs, to pay all interest accrued or to accrue on the
Loan during the term of the Loan from and after the date hereof,
and to pay all other sums due or to become due under the Loan
Documents (or as to any budget category or line item in the
Project Budget, if the undisbursed funds for such category or
line item are or will be insufficient to fully pay for the costs
attributed to such budget category or line item), regardless of
how such condition may be caused, the Borrower will, within ten
(10) Business Days after written notice of such determination
from the Agent, deposit with the Agent such sums of money in cash
as the Agent or the Majority Banks may reasonably require, in an
amount sufficient to remedy the condition described in such
notice, and sufficient to pay any liens for labor, equipment and
materials alleged to be due and payable at that time in
connection with the Improvements, and, at the Agent's or the
Majority Bank's option, no further Advances of the Loan shall be
made by the Banks until the provisions of this Section 9.16 have been
fully complied with. All such deposited sums shall stand as
additional security for the obligations and shall be disbursed by
the Agent on behalf of Banks in the same manner as Advances under
this Agreement before any further Advances of the Loan proceeds
shall be made. Neither the Agent nor the Banks shall have any
obligation to pay Borrower any interest with respect to the
deposited funds.
Section 9.17 Leases. The Borrower will take or cause to be taken
all steps within the power of the Borrower to market and lease

such terms and conditions as may be approved by the Agent, as
hereinafter provided. Any proposed standard form of lease to be
used by the Borrower in connection with the Improvements shall be
submitted to and approved by the Agent prior to its submission to
any proposed tenant, and the Borrower will make such amendments,
modifications or additions thereto as may be reasonably required
by the Agent. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the
management company under the Management Agreement to become a
party to, or agree to come a party to, any Lease without the
prior approval of the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
following the Agent's approval of the standard form of Lease to
be used by Borrower for the Project, Borrower or the management
company under the Management Agreement may, without the prior
approval of the Agent, enter into Leases with individuals (as
opposed to corporations or any other entities) for a single
apartment unit in the ordinary course of business and in
accordance with sound and customary leasing practices for similar
properties in the Sacramento, California area. Additionally,
Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the management company
under the Management Agreement to, amend, supplement or otherwise
modify, or terminate or cancel, or accept the surrender of, or
grant any concessions to or waive the performance of any
obligations of any tenant under, any Lease, without the prior
approval of the Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Borrower or the management company under the
Management Agreement may amend, supplement or otherwise modify or
terminate or cancel, or accept the surrender of, or grant
concessions to or waive the performance of any obligations of a
tenant under any Lease with an individual for a single apartment
unit in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in a manner
consistent with sound and customary leasing and management
practices for similar properties in the Sacramento, California
area. The Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, cause or
permit to exist any condition which would result in the
termination or cancellation of, or which would relieve the
performance of any obligations of any tenant under, any Lease.
Section 9.18 Laborers, Subcontractors and Materialmen. The
Borrower will furnish to the Agent, upon request at any time, and
from time to time, affidavits listing all laborers, suppliers,
subcontractors, materialmen, and any other Persons who might or
could claim statutory or common law liens in excess of $50,000.00
and are furnishing or have furnished labor, equipment or material
to the Project or any part thereof, together with affidavits, or
other evidence satisfactory to the Agent, showing that such
parties have been paid (or will be paid from proceeds of the next
Advance) all amounts then due for labor, equipment and materials
furnished to the Project. The Borrower will also furnish to the
Agent, at any time and from time to time upon demand by the
Agent, lien waivers bearing a date not prior to the Drawdown Date
of the immediately preceding Draw Request and prepared on a form
satisfactory to the Agent from the Contractor and such
subcontractors, suppliers or materialmen as the Agent may
reasonably designate.
Section 9.19 Further Assurance of Title. The Borrower will
further assure title as follows: If at any time the Agent or the
Agent's counsel has reason to believe that any Advance is not
secured or will or may not be secured by the Security Deed as a
first lien or security interest on the Project, then the Borrower
shall, within ten (10) days after written notice from the Agent,
do all things and matters reasonably necessary to assure to the
satisfaction of the Agent and the Agent's counsel that any
Advance previously made hereunder or to be made hereunder is
secured or will be secured by the Security Deed as a first lien
or security interest on the Project, and the Agent, at its
option, may decline to make further Advances hereunder until the
Agent has received such assurance; but nothing in this Section 9.19
shall limit the Agent's right to require endorsements extending
the effective date of the Title Policy as herein set forth.
SECTION 9.20 INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
Section 9.21 Publicity. The Borrower will permit the Agent and
the Banks to obtain publicity in connection with the construction
of the Improvements through press releases and participation in
such events as ground breaking and opening ceremonies. The

of such events and will cooperate with and provide to the Agent
and the Banks as much assistance as possible in connection with
obtaining such publicity.
Section 9.22 Sign Regarding Construction Financing. At Agent's
option, Borrower shall erect promptly and maintain on a suitable
site on the Land a sign indicating that construction financing is
being provided by the Banks, such location and sign to be subject
to the approval of the Agent. Borrower further covenants and
agrees to prevent the destruction or removal of said sign without
the prior written approval of the Agent.

or cause to be furnished to the Agent all instruments, documents,

other Loan Documents, all at the Borrower's expense.

Borrower will execute and deliver to the Agent and the Banks such
further documents, instruments, assignments and other writings,
and will do such other acts necessary or desirable, to preserve
and protect the Collateral at any time securing or intended to
secure the Obligations, as the Agent may reasonably require.
(c) Regarding this Agreement. The Borrower will
cooperate with, and will do such further acts and execute such
further instruments and documents as the Agent shall reasonably
request to carry out to its satisfaction the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.25. Registered Servicemark. Without the prior written
consent of the Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, the Project shall not be owned or operated

Agreement or the other "Loan Documents" (as such term is defined

force and effect as if the same had not been terminated and the
Xxxxxx Revolving Credit Agreement and such "Loan Documents"
remained in full force and effect); or
(cc) INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
(dd) the occurrence of a default by any party under the
Management Agreement, or the termination of the Management
Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent;
then, and in any such event, the Agent may, and upon the request
of the Majority Banks shall, by notice in writing to the Borrower
declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the
Notes and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall
thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided,
that, in the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 13.1(s),
Section 13.1(t) or Section 13.1(u), all such amounts shall become immediately
due and payable automatically and without any requirement of
notice from any of the Banks or the Agent. The Borrower and any
other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a
statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and
bind the Banks pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
Section 13.1A. Limitation of Cure Periods.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 13.1 to the
contrary, (i) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the
occurrence of any failure described in Section 13.1(a) or Section 13.1(b) or
Section 13.1(c), in the event that the Borrower cures such default
within five (5) days following receipt of written notice of such
default, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be entitled
to receive more than two (2) notices in the aggregate pursuant to
this clause (i) in any period of 365 days ending on the date of
any such occurrence of default, and provided further that no such
cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of
the Notes, and (ii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder
upon the occurrence of any failure described in Section 13.1(y) in the
event that the Borrower cures such default within thirty (30)
days following receipt of written notice of such default,
provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not
pertain to any default excluded from any provision of cure of
defaults contained in any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 13.2. Termination of Commitments. If any one or more
Events of Default specified in Section 13.1(s), Section 13.1(t) or
Section 13.1(u) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on
the part of the Agent or any Bank any unused portion of the credit
hereunder shall terminate and the Banks shall be relieved of all
obligations to make Advances to the Borrower. If any other Event
of Default shall have occurred, the Agent, upon the election of
the Majority Banks, may by notice to the Borrower terminate the
obligation to make Advances to the Borrower. No termination
under this Section 13.2 shall relieve the Borrower, the General Partner
or the Guarantors of their respective obligations to the Banks
arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
Section 13.3 Completion of Project. If any one or more of the
Events of Default shall have occurred, and whether or not the
Agent or the Majority Banks shall have terminated the Banks'
obligations to make Advances and/or accelerated the maturity of
the Loan pursuant to this Agreement as provided above, the Agent,
if the construction of the Improvements has not been fully
completed, may cause the Project to be completed and may enter
upon and take possession of the Land, whether in person, by agent
or by court appointed receiver, and construct, equip and complete
the Project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, with
such changes therein as the Majority Banks may, from time to
time, and in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. In
connection with any construction of the Project undertaken by the
Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.3, the Agent may:
(a) use any funds of the Borrower, including any
balance which may be held by the Agent as security or in escrow,
and any funds remaining unadvanced under the Loan;
(b) employ existing contractors, subcontractors,
agents, architects, engineers, and the like, or terminate the
same and employ others;
(c) employ security watchmen to protect the Project;
(d) make such additions, changes and corrections in
the Plans and Specifications as shall, in the judgment of the
Agent or the Majority Banks, be necessary or desirable;
(e) take over and use any and all Personal Property
contracted for or purchased by the Borrower, if appropriate, or
dispose of the same as the Agent or the Majority Banks see fit;
(f) execute all applications and certificates on
behalf of the Borrower which may be required by any Governmental
Authority or Requirements or contract documents or agreements;
(g) pay, settle or compromise all existing or future
bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Project,
or may be necessary for the completion of the Improvements or the
clearance of title to the Project;
(h) complete the marketing and leasing of leasable
space in the Improvements, enter into new Leases, and modify or
amend existing Leases, all as the Agent or the Majority Banks
shall deem to be necessary or desirable;
(i) prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings
in connection with the construction of the Improvements or in any
other way affecting the Land or the Improvements; and
(j) take such action hereunder, or refrain from acting
hereunder, as the Agent or the Majority Banks may, in their sole
and absolute discretion, from time to time determine, and without
any limitation whatsoever, to carry out the intent of this Section 13.3.
The Borrower shall be liable to the Agent and the Banks for all
costs paid or incurred for the construction, equipping and
completion of the Project, whether the same shall be paid or
incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.3 or otherwise,
and all payments made or liabilities incurred by the Agent and
the Banks hereunder of any kind whatsoever shall be deemed
Advances made to the Borrower under this Agreement and shall be
secured by the Security Deed and the other Security Documents.
To the extent that any costs so paid or incurred by the Agent or
the Banks, together with all other Advances made by the Agent and
the Banks hereunder, exceed the Loan Amount, the amount of such
excess costs shall be added to the Loan Amount, and the
Borrower's obligation to repay the same, together with interest
thereon at the Default Rate, shall be deemed to be evidenced by
this Agreement and secured by the Security Deed and the other
Security Documents. In the event the Agent takes possession of
the Project and assumes control of such construction as
aforesaid, (A) Agent shall not be obligated to continue such
construction longer than it shall see fit and may thereafter, at
any time, change any course of action undertaken by it or abandon
such construction and decline to make further payments for the
account of the Borrower whether or not the Project shall have
been completed, and (B) Agent shall not have assumed any
liability to Borrower or any other Person for completing the
Improvements or for the quality of any such construction. For
the purpose of this Section 13.3, the construction, equipping and
completion of the Project shall be deemed to include any action
necessary to cure any Event of Default by the Borrower under any
of the terms and provisions of any of the Loan Documents.
Section 13.4 Other Remedies. If any one or more of the Events of
Default shall have occurred, and whether or not the Agent or the
Majority Banks shall have terminated the Banks' obligations to
make Advances pursuant to Section 13.2 and/or accelerated the maturity
of the Loan pursuant to Section 13.1, the Agent may proceed to protect
and enforce the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Banks
under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan
Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate
proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant
or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are
evidenced, including as permitted by applicable law the obtaining
of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount
owed to the Agent or the Banks shall have become due, by
declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof
or any other legal or equitable right of the Agent or the Banks.
No remedy conferred upon the Agent or the Banks or the holder of
any Note in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents
is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and
every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given hereunder or thereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other
provision of law.
Section 13.5 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event
that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any
Default or Event of Default, the Agent receives any monies in
connection with the enforcement of any of the Security Documents,
or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the
Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as
follows:
(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be)
the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all
reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall
have been incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with
the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise,
protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the
rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the
Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity
to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have,
or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent to such
monies;
(b) Second, to all other Obligations in such order or
preference as the Majority Banks shall determine; provided,
however, that (i) in the event that any Bank shall have
wrongfully failed or refused to make an advance under Section 3.7 and
such failure or refusal shall be continuing, advances made by
other Banks during the pendency of such failure or refusal shall
be entitled to be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in
priority to the other Obligations described in this subsection
(b), and (ii) Obligations owing to the Banks with respect to each
type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and
expenses, shall be made among the Banks pro rata; and provided
further that the Majority Banks may in their discretion make
proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then
due and payable; and
(c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to
the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.
Section 13.6 Power of Attorney. For the purposes of carrying out
the provisions and exercising the rights, remedies, powers and
privileges granted by or referred to in this Section 13, the Borrower
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and
perform any acts which are referred to in this Section 13, in the name
and on behalf of the Borrower. The power vested in such
attorney-in-fact is, and shall be deemed to be, coupled with an
interest and irrevocable.
Section 13.7 Waivers. The Borrower hereby waives to the extent
not prohibited by applicable law (a) all presentments, demands
for performance, notices of nonperformance (except to the extent
required by the provisions hereof or of any of the other Loan
Documents), protests and notices of dishonor, (b) any requirement
of diligence or promptness on the Agent's or the Bank's part in
the enforcement of their rights (but not fulfillment of its
obligations) under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, and (c) any and all notices of every kind
and description which may be required to be given by any statute
or rule of law (other than those required to be delivered to the
Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents) not and any defense of
any kind which the Borrower may now or hereafter have with
respect to its liability under this Agreement or under any of the
other Loan Documents.
SECTION 14. SETOFF
Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the
continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or
specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of
currency, maturity, or the branch of the Bank where such deposits
are held) or other sums credited by or due from any of the Banks
to the Borrower or the Guarantors and any securities or other
property of the Borrower in the possession of such Bank may be
applied to or set off against the payment of the Obligations and
any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or
contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter
arising, of the Borrower to such Bank. Each of the Banks agrees
with each other Bank not to exercise any such setoff rights
without the prior written consent of the Agent and that if such
Bank shall receive from the Borrower or the Guarantors, whether
by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or
otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note
or Notes held by such Bank any amount in excess of its ratable
portion of the payments received by all of the Banks with respect
to the Notes held by all of the Banks, such Bank will make such
disposition and arrangements with the other Banks with respect to
such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment
of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Bank
receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate
payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all
or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from
such Bank, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded
and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest.
SECTION 15. THE AGENT.
Section 15.1. Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such
action on behalf of each of the Banks and to exercise all such
powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents
and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with
such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no
duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or
therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The
obligations of Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in
nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent
as a trustee for any Bank or to create an agency or fiduciary
relationship. The Borrower and any other Person shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that
it has the authority to act for and bind the Banks pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 15.2. Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its
powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents
and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may
utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably
determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such
Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.
Section 15.3. No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its
shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other
Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee
thereof, shall be liable to any of the Banks for any waiver,
consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be
taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or
be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of
judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person,
as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful
misconduct or gross negligence.
Section 15.4. No Representations. The Agent shall not be
responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of
this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any
instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute,
collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such
collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or
collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the
Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or
representations made herein, in the other Loan Documents, or in
any agreement, instrument, Draw Request or certificate delivered
in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or
in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or
on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their
respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as
to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions,
covenants or agreements herein or in any other of the Loan
Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any
notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the
Borrower or any Guarantor or any holder of any of the Notes shall
have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The
Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or
warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability
to the Banks, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial
condition of the Borrower, its partners, the Guarantors, any of
their respective Subsidiaries or the value of or ability of the
Banks to realize upon any Collateral. Each Bank acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Bank, and based upon such information and documents as
it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent or any other Bank, based upon such information and
documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 15.5. Payments.
(a) A payment by the Borrower or the Guarantors to the
Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the
account of any Bank shall constitute a payment to such Bank. The
Agent agrees to distribute to each Bank not later than one
Business Day after the Agent's receipt of good funds, determined
in accordance with the Agent's customary practices, such Bank's
pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account
of the Banks except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in
any of the other Loan Documents.
(b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of
any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the
Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it
in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its
right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court
of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction
shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the
Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution
shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its
proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or
shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as
shall be determined by such court.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Bank
that fails (i) to make available to the Agent its pro rata share
of any Advance or (ii) to comply with the provisions of Section 14 with
respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other
Banks, where such Bank's share of any payment received, whether
by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of
such payments due and payable to all of the Banks, in each case
as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of
this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a "Delinquent Bank")
and shall be deemed a Delinquent Bank until such time as such
delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to
have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower
and the Guarantor, whether on account of outstanding Advances,
interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Banks
for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata
shares of all outstanding Advances. The Delinquent Bank hereby
authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the
nondelinquent Banks in proportion to their respective pro rata
shares of all outstanding Advances. A Delinquent Bank shall be
deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a
result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding
Advances of the nondelinquent Banks or as a result of other
payments by the Delinquent Banks to the nondelinquent Banks, the
Banks' respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Advances
have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such
delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing
such delinquency.
Section 15.6. Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of Article
21, the Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the
absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until
it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by
such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.
Section 15.7. Indemnity. The Banks ratably agree hereby to
indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and
all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise),
losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for
which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as
required by Section 16), and liabilities of every nature and character
arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes or any of
the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or
evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent's actions taken
hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the
same shall be directly caused by the Agent's willful misconduct
or gross negligence.
Section 15.8. Agent as Bank. In its individual capacity, any Bank
acting as Agent shall have the same obligations and the same
rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and
the Advances made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as
it would have were it not also the Agent.
Section 15.9. Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by
giving 60 calendar days' prior written notice thereof to the
Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority
Banks shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent any
Bank or any other bank whose senior debt obligations are rated
not less than "A" or its equivalent by Xxxxx'x Investors Service,
Inc. or not less than "A" or its equivalent by Standard & Poor's
corporation and which has a net worth of not less than
$500,000,000. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent
shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's
giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on
behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be
any Bank or a bank whose debt obligations are rated not less than
"A" or its equivalent by Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. or not
less than "A" or its equivalent by Standard & Poor's Corporation
and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Upon

knowledge of the occurrence of the event which the Borrower
alleges gave rise to such claim, and failure to give such notice
shall constitute a waiver of any such claim. The liability of
the Agent or any Bank to the Borrower for any breach of the terms
of this Agreement by such Person shall not exceed a sum equal to
the amount which such Person shall be determined to have failed
to advance in consequence of a breach by such Person of its
obligations under this Agreement, together with interest thereon
at the rate payable by the Borrower under the terms of the Note
for Advances which the Borrower is to receive hereunder, computed
from the date when the Advance should have been made by such
Person to the date when the Advance is, in fact, made by such
Person, and, upon the making of any such payment by such Person
to the Borrower, the same shall be treated as an Advance under
this Agreement, in the same fashion as any other Advance under

shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in
accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that the
Agent and the Banks will refuse to make Advances in the absence
of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person
shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of
such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in
whole or in part by the Agent and the Banks at any time if in
their sole discretion they deems it desirable to do so. In
particular, the Agent and the Banks make no representations and
assume no obligations as to third parties concerning the quality
of the construction by the Borrower of the Improvements or the
absence therefrom of defects.

made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or
in any documents or in other papers delivered by or on behalf of
the Borrower, the General Partner, the Guarantors, or any of
their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto and thereto shall
be deemed to have been relied upon by the Agent and the Banks,
notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by
any of them, and shall survive the making by the Banks of the
Advances, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full
force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement
or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains
outstanding or any Bank has any obligation to make any Advances.
The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein
and the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of
amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Banks
hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and
therein. All statements contained in any certificate or other
paper delivered to any Bank or the Agent at any time by or on
behalf of the Borrower, the General Partner, the Guarantors, or
any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall
constitute representations and warranties by such Person
hereunder.

provided herein, each Bank may assign to one or more banks or
other entities all or a portion of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of
the Advances at the time owing to it, and the Notes held by it);
provided that (a) the Agent shall have given its prior written
consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that such consent
shall not be required for any assignment to another Bank to a
bank which is under common control with the assigning Bank or to
a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Bank provided that such
assignee shall remain a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Bank),
(b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a
varying, percentage of all the assigning Bank's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, (c) the parties to such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording
in the Register (as hereinafter defined), a notice of such
assignment, together with any Notes subject to such assignment,
(d) in no event shall any voting, consent or approval rights of a
Bank be assigned to any Person controlling, controlled by or
under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from
influence or control by, the Borrower, the General Partner or the
Guarantors, which rights shall instead be allocated pro rata
among the other remaining Banks, (e) such assignee shall have a
net worth as of the date of such assignment of not less than
$500,000,000, (f) such assignment is subject to the terms of any
intercreditor agreement among the Banks and the Agent, and
(g) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loan of not
less than $5,000,000.00. Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, of such notice of assignment, (i) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan
Documents executed by the Banks and, to the extent provided in
such assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Bank
hereunder, (ii) the assigning Bank shall, to the extent provided
in such assignment and upon payment to the Agent of the
registration fee referred to in Section 21.2, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may
unilaterally amend Schedule 1 to reflect such assignment. In
connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and
warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Bank as to
whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common
control with or is not otherwise free from influence or control
by, the Borrower, the General Partner, and the Guarantors.
Section 21.2. Register. The Agent shall maintain a copy of each
assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the
"Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Banks and the Commitment Percentages of, and principal amount of
the Loan owing to the Banks from time to time. The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and the Banks at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Bank agrees to
pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $2,000.
Section 21.3. New Notes. Upon its receipt of an assignment
executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each
Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall (a) record the
information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give

the assigning Bank). Within five (5) Business Days after receipt
of such notice, the Borrower at its own expense shall execute and
deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a
new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the
amount assumed by such assignee pursuant to such assignment and,
if the assigning Bank has retained some portion of its
obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning
Bank in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder,
and shall cause the Guarantors to deliver to the Agent an
acknowledgment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Agent to the effect that the Guaranty extends to and is
applicable to each new Note. Such new Notes shall provide that
they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective
date of such assignment and shall otherwise be in substantially
the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be
canceled and returned to the Borrower.
Section 21.4. Participations. Each Bank may sell participations
to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of
such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or
participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the
selling Bank hereunder to the Borrower, (b) such sale and
participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or
privileges under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including,
without limitation, the right to approve waivers, amendments or
modifications, (c) such participant shall have no direct rights
against the Borrower, the General Partner or the Guarantors
except the rights granted to the Banks pursuant to Section 14, (d) such
sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, and

or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement
(including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve
Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve
Act, 12 U.S.C. SEction 341. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof

under any of the other Loan Documents.

assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any of
the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of

assignees or participants hereunder.
